I have an 2012 American Standard Deluxe strat. I want to replace the pg with a mint green one from Warmoth. The reason being is that I"m changing it to HSS with 1 volume and 1 tone knob. Does anyone know if Warmoth's color is as close to the original Fender color?
Thanks!

Welcome.

Your best bet would be to ask Warmoth directly.

I did and they're pretty vague about it. The pickguard on their website looks REALLY green.
Obviously that could be the settings on my monitor.

What colour is your guitar? Warmoth mint green is pretty minty, definitely greener than the genuine fender one. Green pick guards can look even more green on some guitars than they do on others too. The colour of your pickup covers and dials will affect that a bit too.

Personally, I think mint green pickguard are best avoided, full stop (period, for my American brethren).

If you're looking for something slightly vintage looking, have you thought about a parchment guard?
